Neighbors bill hotel for loud late-night parties

NEW YORK, April 22 (UPI) -- Neighbors of the noisy Gansevoort Park Avenue in New York said they are sending mock bills to the hotel to get compensation for their lost sleep.

Residents of the Murray Hill neighborhood said the hotel's loud parties often keep them up until 4 a.m., and six of the residents said they have sent official-looking mock invoices to the hotel seeking $1,000 for each hour of lost sleep, the New York Post reported Monday.

The group said their bills totaled $21,350 for April 14, the night of a particularly wild celebration at the hotel.
